HOT-WATER BOTTLES. Hot-Avater bottles Avear out all too soon, and in many cases it is the- fault of the owners, Avho do not take any precautions to prevent the rubber from rotting. If a hot Avater bottle is Avasbed out once a month Avith a Aveak soda Avater solution, it Avill last far longer than usual. This treatment keeps the rubber pliable and much less likely to perish.
